Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore

I am clear-headed and gathering energy, Jane ditto. I had a computer bite the dust---or disk---this morning and have not freaked. I have been banned from FB (well, restricted) for discussing solid state drives. But, oh, well, it's a day. [Apparently it triggered a...

This one is a doozy---not too bad, if you want to hibernate like a bear for 3 days. And maybe a little worse if you have neuropathy from chemotherapy. My hands and feet reacted somewhat painfully, but that was ok, it only lasted while I was too sleepy to function. All...

We're ok here. And just this hour got word that Jane is out of surgery and will be home today. We didn't get too badly hit by the weather, but my second vaccination had to be postponed because of the weather delaying planes---as in, they didn't want to ship during the...

...until May, saying all the bloodwork looked good; and my GI doc set me up for a year from January. So we're doing great. I'm still having finger and foot pain from the chemo, but the doc handed me something that might help. We'll see. It may go away over time. At...

It was a little fraught with confusion--=nobody expected the 7:00 time to be PM---but it was. They had it moving pretty fast, and I exited with a card giving the batch number, etc. It was Moderna. And yesterday the Gov lowered the age for the next batch, and Jane will...

The follow-up to the last colonoscopy (3 in the last 365 days, not to mention abdominal surgery) reports the latest biopsy is clear. No problem. Jane and I are, yes, happy! I've been so often in that clinic this year I'm about to demand a brass plaque.Not to mention...

Between us, Jane and I can lift, plumb, kneel, shove, and whatnot----and we replaced the kitchen water heater. Which is pretty good for a new hip and coming off chemo. We're being thankful this year for being here in one piece and making progress. Which in 2020, is a...

Mostly incision pain. She's moving about pretty well, but relying on the walker to avoid thoughtless twists and other bodily moves that could tweak abused muscle. The only muscle incision is vertical, but there is 'retraction', which is not a gentle process. She's...

On her way to the car, Jane hit the door open button for the garage. In the dark of 6am in Spokane winter. She settled in (I'd been warming the car.) and I hit the door open button on the car visor and backed out. Hit the garage door. It IS a both open and close...

On a snowy night at 3 am, Jane had gut pain severe enough I took her to a fancy clinic, which called an ambulance to get her to the hospital for removal of her gall bladder, which had never given any prior trouble. That was a week ago. Today she gets her right hip...

Ill in January, I bounced through a series of medical appointments which. thanks to one doc and two NP's, bounced me to a colonoscopy. which found, yes, cancer. I was in surgery within two weeks, on chemo the week after that, and am glad to report I finished chemo in...

We have 2 big air purifiers, and are very glad to have them. Outside smells like a smoker's convention. Inside is fairly nice. We're not in danger here in WA, but some of our small towns are, and CA and OR are hard hit. Good wishes to all in the affected zonmes. Stay...
